Split, Coatia - suggest some good resorts

[Stevanos]

Hello all.

Can anyone recommend a nice resort town near Split with some good beaches, things to do but not over developed?

Thanks

Croatian beaches are nearly all small and gravelly. The water is crystal clear.

I'd suggest a drive up the coast to Trogir, Marina, Sibenik and Primosten. Trogir is a lovely old walled town with trafic free narrow streets, tiny squares and a fantastic seafront with lots of restaurants. Marina is a pretty village with a pleasant beach and Primosteen is another walled town well worth a look round. The old town part of Split is facinating and well worth a day wandering around. Civo island is lovely with great views out to the Adratic on the western side and there's some good restaurants allong the coastal road at Okrug Gornji.

The Kika national park and boat trip up the river george is not to be missed and if you get a chance for a boat trip out to one of the nearby islands like Solta or Drvenik Mal from Trogir don't miss that.
